What is a Grease Paste?

Industrial grease paste is a high-performance lubricant with solid additives (such as molybdenum disulfide, graphite, copper, silver, ceramics, or PTFE) designed for use in extreme conditions – under very high loads, elevated temperatures, and aggressive environments.

It forms a durable protective layer on surfaces, preventing wear, seizing, and corrosion, while also facilitating the assembly and disassembly of screws, threads, and connections.

Grease paste acts as a safety reserve lubricant, protecting components where conventional greases are no longer effective.

Industrial Grease Pastes vs. Conventional Greases

1.Special Applications under Extreme Conditions

Grease Pastes: Withstand very high pressure, temperature, and aggressive environments (chemicals, moisture).

Conventional Greases: Burn off or wash away faster, losing effectiveness under high load.

Note: Paste acts as a safety reserve – protecting areas where oil or standard grease can no longer safeguard components.

2.High Solid Phase Concentration

Grease Pastes: Contain solid lubricants (MoS₂, graphite, ceramics, PTFE) that remain on the surface even after the base oil breaks down.

Conventional Greases: Rely mainly on the base oil film, which disappears quickly under extreme conditions.

Benefit: Paste ensures long-term protection even if the grease “burns out.”

3.Protection Against Seizing and Wear

Grease Pastes: Especially suitable for screw and connection assembly/disassembly, preventing “cold welding” and rust bonding.

Conventional Greases: Offer only temporary protection; connections can seize over time.

Benefit: Paste simplifies assembly and maintenance, reducing the risk of damaging components.

4.Precise Application and Localized Protection

Grease Pastes: Applied directly to the contact area in a thin layer, providing optimal protection with minimal quantity.

Conventional Greases: Often require larger amounts, as they may flow away or wash out.

Benefit: Paste saves material and provides controlled, effective protection.

5.Long-Term Economic Advantage

Grease Pastes: Extend component service life, ease maintenance, and reduce downtime costs.

Conventional Greases: Require more frequent reapplication and component replacement.

Benefit: While more expensive per kilogram, paste is significantly cheaper in overall operation.

Industrial grease pastes are a specialized solution for extreme loads where conventional greases lose efficiency. They provide long-term protection, reduce wear, and make maintenance easier and more cost-effective.
